Billzgobowlin Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I think Reid wanted Shady to be there for the playoff run. I think we all know his skills slipped. I hope he gets a ring because he deserves it being on our team through the bad years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Feel bad for Shady but saw this coming. He just isn't that good anymore. I always think of really good players who just missed this opportunity. Eric Berry Kareem Hunt Shady Kelvin Benjamin (joke) Tamba Hali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcali Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Reed83HOF said: sad story that repeats itself in the nfl....the demise of the RB. A position (w very few exceptions like John Riggins and a few other mainly power backs) where the player hits the wall quickly. The RB position relies so much on pure athleticism...which peaks in the mid 20s. We got Shady at the end of his prime and he was good for a couple yrs. But then he was very avg...and overpaid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I guess he really only has one good game last year, I blamed the OL for some of it but it wasn’t all of it. MANY here blamed the O-line. But it wasn't so. The fork was in him last year for sure. Sure there has been the Nate Peterman, the Kelvin Benjamin, the Lee Smith....but I give credit to McD for smelling the milk-gone-bad on McCoy's career and sending him on his way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoy, the 32 year old backup rb, had the same numbers as the Vikings 21 year old backup rb, so that means he’s washed up? I mean he’s not McCoy but a guy who’s washed (Gore) would average like 3.2 ypc or whatever. i really don’t care either way. I think McCoy could be a major scumbag but he is a borderline HOF Rb and has a chance to get a ring. Things could be worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid has done it to McCoy twice in a row (and replaced him with a rookie avg 3.5/carry)---in the playoffs, including the SB. He also benched him in the last him for the last 2 games of the regular season. He's touched the ball once since mid-December. Reid obviously thinks he's washed up---go tell him he's wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his is hilarious. All you used to do is talk about Reid is a completely overrated coach. And maybe a smart offensive coach should have benched Gore and his 2.8 ypc against Houston. someone else pointed out it’s probably the 3 fumbles that got him benched. It’s crazy because it always seemed like he should have fumble much more with the way he carried the ball. oh well. Bills fans can watch the game and talk about how much Watkins, McCoy, and Ragland suck. Just like with Gilmore last year. And Darby and Bradham the year before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many more than me understand The Big Koolaid is a liability calling games that matter. Doesn't mean he can't see what others see--McCoy's washed up to the point where they won't even put him in a uniform for weeks. It's not because of the fumbles (he played 2 more games after his last fumble). Didn't see McD keeping Singletary in street clothes the rest of the year after this 3rd fumble in 102 carries on Thanksgiving. 3 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: I would have rather had McCoy than Gore in our playoff game. For what? The guy hasn't had 40 yards rushing since before Halloween. How is he an upgrade? At least Gore is still playing hard. McCoy has been dogging it for 2 years. And I bet that's why Reid benched him. Like everyone on this board, only way McCoy is ever getting into the HOF is with a ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) I think it's a mistake. Shady is one of the best pass blocking RBs I've ever seen and if Damien Williams gets hurt... McCoy didn't have many carries this season but made good use the ones he did get. 4.6ypc Edited February 1, 2020 by Chicken Boo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da webster guy Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Never saw the upside of limiting a roster to less than 60. This is a perfect example of why. If KC gets a nice lead and wants to bring in a popular vet like Shady for a few touches they should be able to. 53 isn't enough. It would also help to develop young players, sometimes a blowout happens or guys get hurt and if there were deeper rosters it would benefit everyone.

NoSaint Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 4 hours ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: For real? That’s a real slap in the face. Activate a nobody backup interior d-lineman who everyone knows won’t play, over a possible HOF RB who can actually get you some good touches? It seems they believe that lineman gets them better impact and their job is to win the game not make shady proud of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL was not good last year, but there is these stats that's are hard to explain away, except McCoy's product fell off. Murphy: 60/291 4.9 YPA McCoy: 161/514, 3.2 YPA With KC, McCoy averaged 4.6, which is decent and above Williams' 4.5. But I think McCoy's two fumbles mid-season dropped him down.

Taraka Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 If a player contributed in a season where his team wins the super bowl he doesn't earn a ring unless he is active for that game? I don't agree with that. To make it that far he DID contribute to a greater or lesser extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
